Strategy
Principally through focused acquisitions of complementary product lines and businesses, Teledyne Technologies seeks to build growth platforms around three core markets: aerospace and defense electronics; electronic instrumentation; and government systems engineering. The Company also intends to continue to focus on managing costs and operational excellence in every aspect of its business, from finance to manufacturing, as well as with the integration of its acquisitions. The Company continually evaluates its product lines to ensure that they are aligned with its strategy.
First Quarter 2004 Acquisitions and Pending Acquisition
On December 31, 2003, to broaden our microwave product lines to customers, Teledyne Wireless, Inc. acquired certain assets of the Filtronic Solid State (Solid State) business located in Santa Clara, California. Solid State designs and manufactures customized microwave assemblies for electronic warfare, radar and other military applications. The business, which now operates as Teledyne Microwave, was relocated to Teledyne operations in Mountain View, California.
On February 27, 2004, Teledyne Tekmar Company acquired assets of Leeman Labs, Inc., located in Hudson, New Hampshire. Leeman Labs inductively coupled plasma laboratory spectrometers are used by environmental and quality control laboratories to detect low levels of inorganic contaminants in water and other environmental samples, and complement Teledyne Tekmar Companys organic analysis instrumentation.
On April 8, 2004 Teledyne Technologies and Isco, Inc. jointly announced that they signed a definitive agreement which provides for the merger of Isco, Inc. with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies. Upon the consummation of the merger, which is subject to the approval of Iscos shareholders as well as other customary closing conditions, Teledyne will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Isco for $16.00 per share in cash. The aggregate consideration for the outstanding Isco shares will be approximately $96 million (including payments for the settlement of outstanding stock options) or approximately $80 million taking into account Iscos net cash at January 23, 2004.
Results of Operations
Teledyne Technologies first quarter 2004 sales were $219.6 million, compared with sales of $197.2 million for the same period in 2003. Net income for the first quarter of 2004 was $5.9 million ($0.18 per diluted share), compared with net income of $5.5 million ($0.17 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2003.
The first quarter of 2004, compared with the same period in 2003, reflected higher sales in each business segment. The higher sales in the Electronics and Communications segment resulted from both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, including Leeman Labs, acquired February 27, 2004, Solid State, acquired on December 31, 2003, Tekmar Company, acquired in May 2003, and Spirents Aviation Information Solutions businesses, acquired in June 2003.
The increase in earnings for the first quarter of 2004, compared with the same period of 2003, reflected improved results in the Electronics and Communications, Systems Engineering and Energy Systems segments, partially offset by lower results in the Aerospace Engines and Components segment. The first quarter of 2004 included pretax pension expense of $2.2 million compared with pretax pension expense of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2003.
Cost of sales in total dollars was higher in the first quarter of 2004, compared with the same period in 2003. The increase was in line with higher sales and also reflected higher pension expense, partially offset by product mix differences. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 2004 was slightly lower compared with the same period of 2003 and reflected sales mix differences, partially offset by higher pension expense.
13
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including research and development and bid and proposal expense, in total dollars were higher in the first quarter of 2004, compared with the same period in 2003. This increase was in line with higher sales which resulted from organic growth and acquisitions and higher aircraft product liability insurance costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2004, as a percentage of sales were slightly higher, compared with the same period in 2003, which reflected higher aircraft product liability insurance costs and the impact of recent acquisitions, which due to the nature of their business, carry a higher selling expense as a percentage of sales than most of Teledynes other businesses.
The Companys effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2004 was 39.6%, compared to 39.0% for the first quarter of 2003.
Review of Operations:
The following table sets forth the sales and operating profit for each segment (amounts in millions):
Electronics and Communications
The Electronics and Communications segments first quarter 2004 sales were $116.4 million, compared with first quarter 2003 sales of $103.6 million. First quarter 2004 operating profit was $8.0 million, compared with operating profit of $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2003.
First quarter 2004 sales, compared with the same period of 2003, reflected revenue growth in defense electronic products, medical microelectronics, avionics products, electronic instruments, relay products and commercial lighting products. This growth was partially offset by lower sales from electronic manufacturing services, primarily driven by lower government sales. The revenue growth in defense electronic products was driven by traveling wave tubes, ejection seat sequencers and the acquisition of assets of Solid State on December 31, 2003. Revenue growth in avionics products resulted from the acquisition of the Aviation Information Solutions businesses on June 27, 2003. Electronic instruments revenue was favorably impacted by the acquisition of Tekmar-Dohrmann on May 16, 2003, and increased demand for geophysical sensors for the petroleum exploration market. Segment operating profit was favorably impacted by the sales growth partially offset by an increase in
14
pension expense. Pension expense was $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared with pension expense of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2003.
Systems Engineering Solutions
The Systems Engineering Solutions segments first quarter 2004 sales were $54.6 million, compared with first quarter 2003 sales of $52.4 million. First quarter 2004 operating profit was $6.1 million, compared with operating profit of $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2003.
First quarter 2004 sales, compared with the same period of 2003, reflected revenue growth in core defense and environmental programs. Operating profit was favorably impacted by increased sales and the mix and timing of certain government programs. Segment operating profit included $0.1 million of pension expense in the first quarters of 2004 and 2003.
Aerospace Engines and Components
The Aerospace Engines and Components segments first quarter 2004 sales were $42.9 million, compared with first quarter 2003 sales of $37.8 million. The first quarter 2004 operating loss was $0.7 million, compared with operating profit of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2003.
First quarter 2004 sales, compared with the same period of 2003, reflected revenue growth in turbine engines, OEM piston engines, aftermarket engines and parts. Sales from turbine engines were favorably impacted by higher revenue from Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) and Improved Tactical Air-Launched Decoy (ITALD) engines. Improved operating results for turbine engines resulted from increased sales. Piston engine operating results were unfavorably impacted by the increase in aircraft product liability insurance costs, partially offset by revenue growth. Segment operating loss was unfavorably impacted by pension expense of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared with pension expense of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2003.
Teledyne Energy Systems
The Energy Systems segments first quarter 2004 sales were $5.7 million, compared with first quarter 2003 sales of $3.4 million. First quarter 2004 operating profit was $0.3 million, compared with an operating loss of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2003.
The increase in first quarter 2004 sales resulted from multi-year government contracts which were awarded, in 2003, for fuel cell and thermoelectric power generator work. Operating profit was favorably impacted by the growth in sales and a reduction in research and development costs.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Teledyne Technologies net cash provided by operating activities was $8.2 million for the first three months of 2004, compared with net cash used of $1.8 million for the same period of 2003. The higher net cash provided in the first three months of 2004, compared with the first three months of 2003, was due to an aircraft product liability settlement payment in 2003, as well as improved working capital management in 2004 and positive operating cash flow from acquisitions made since the first quarter of 2003.
Teledyne Technologies net cash used by investing activities was $23.3 million and $3.1 million for the first three months of 2004 and 2003, respectively. The 2004 amount included $20.0 million for the purchase of businesses and $3.3 million for capital expenditures. The 2003 amount included $2.9 million for capital expenditures.
Financing activities provided net cash of $1.3 million in the first three months of 2004 and 2003 from the exercise of stock options.
15
Working capital was $123.6 million at March 28, 2004, compared with $129.5 million at the end of 2003. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the use of cash to fund acquisitions.
On February 27, 2004, Teledyne Tekmar Company acquired assets of Leeman Labs, Inc., for $8.0 million in cash. On December 31, 2003, which is part of Teledynes 2004 fiscal year, Teledyne Wireless, Inc. acquired certain assets of the Filtronic Solid State business from Filtronic plc for $12.0 million in cash. On June 27, 2003, Teledyne Technologies acquired from Spirent plc its Aviation Information Solutions businesses (collectively AIS), for $6.4 million in cash, which is net of a purchase price adjustment. On May 16, 2003, Teledyne Technologies acquired Tekmar Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerson Electric Co. for $13.5 million in cash.
In all acquisitions, the results are included in the Companys consolidated financial statements from the date of each respective acquisition. The Company accounts for goodwill and purchased intangible assets under SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Business acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method by assigning the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but reviewed at least annually for impairment. The acquisitions of Tekmar Company and AIS in 2003 resulted in $5.4 million of purchased intangible assets, primarily trade names, customer relationships, software technology and patents. Of the $5.4 million of intangible assets, $3.6 million is subject to amortization over estimated useful lives ranging from five to 20 years and a weighted average life of eight years. The allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of Tekmar Company was completed as of year-end 2003. The allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of AIS was completed in the first quarter of 2004. The allocation of the purchase price for the Solid State and Leeman Labs acquisitions are preliminary as they were recently acquired. The preliminary amount of goodwill recorded as of March 28, 2004 for these acquisitions is $16.1 million.
Teledyne Technologies principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt service requirements, as well as to fund acquisitions, if and when they arise. It is anticipated that operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under the credit facility described below, will be sufficient to meet these requirements in the year 2004, including the planned acquisition of Isco, Inc. Teledyne Technologies currently expects capital expenditures to be in the range of approximately $20 million to $21 million in 2004, of which $3.3 million has been spent in the first three months of 2004.
A $200.0 million five-year revolving credit agreement that terminates in November 2004 was arranged with a syndicate of banks in connection with the Companys 1999 spin-off from Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI). At March 28, 2004, Teledyne Technologies had no amounts outstanding under the facility. Excluding interest and fees, no payments are due under the credit facility until the facility terminates. Available borrowing capacity under the credit facility was $200.0 million at March 28, 2004 and at year-end 2003. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial covenants and restrictions. It prohibits stock repurchases, the declaration of dividends or making other specified distributions in aggregate amounts exceeding 25% of cumulative net income ($26.4 million as of March 28, 2004) after the effective date of the credit agreement. The Company is currently in the process of replacing this agreement. Teledyne expects to have a new revolving credit agreement in place before November 2004.
In March 2003, Teledyne Technologies announced that its Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase from time to time up to one million shares of its Common Stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions through March 31, 2004. No repurchases were made under this program.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and may potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Our critical accounting policies continue to be the following: revenue recognition; impairment of long-lived assets; accounting for income taxes; inventories and related allowance for obsolete and excess inventory; aircraft product liability reserve; and
16
accounting for pension plans. For additional discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. included in Teledyne Technologies Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2003 (2003 Form 10-K).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No 132, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (SFAS No. 132). SFAS No. 132 requires additional information regarding the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement date, plan obligations, cash flows and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods as is effective immediately upon issuance. The Company has included the required interim disclosures in Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires companies to evaluate variable interest entities to determine whether to apply the consolidation provisions of FIN 46 to those entities. Companies must apply FIN 46 to entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which a company obtains an interest after that date. In October 2003, the FASB deferred the effective date to the first fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which a company holds a variable interest that is acquired before February 1, 2003. Teledyne Technologies adoption of FIN 46 had no impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Outlook
Although 2004 earnings visibility is limited, based on its current outlook, the Companys management believes that second quarter 2004 earnings per share will be in the range of approximately $0.20 to $0.22. The full year 2004 earnings per share outlook is expected to be in the range of approximately $0.84 to $0.88, an increase from prior guidance of $0.80 to $0.86.
The Companys 2004 outlook reflects anticipated growth in the Companys defense electronics and instrumentation businesses, a slight recovery in some of the Companys short cycle electronics and commercial aviation markets and $0.16 per share of pension expense for the full year 2004. Given the finalization of actual fee negotiations for work performed on certain government contracts in prior periods, operating margin in the Companys Systems Engineering Solutions segment is expected to be lower in the remainder of 2004, compared with 2003 and the first quarter of 2004. The Companys previous multi-year aircraft product liability policy expired in May 2003. As of June 1, 2003, the total cost of the Companys aircraft product liability insurance increased approximately $1.0 million per month or approximately 75%. The Companys current aircraft product liability policy will expire in May 2004, and the Company is currently reviewing placement and structuring alternatives. The Company does not anticipate a significant increase in the total cost of its aircraft product liability insurance.
Full year 2003 earnings included $6.9 million or $0.13 per share in pension expense. The Company currently expects approximately $8.7 million or $0.16 per share of pension expense in 2004. The increase in pension expense reflects, in part, a reduction in the discount rate assumption for the Companys defined benefit pension plan. The Companys assumed discount rate will be 6.5% in 2004, compared to 7.0% in 2003. As of January 1, 2004, new hires will participate in an enhanced defined contribution plan as opposed to the Companys existing defined benefit pension plan. Currently, Teledyne Technologies anticipates making an after-tax cash contribution of approximately $3.0 million to its pension plan in 2004. Also, under one of its spin-off agreements, after November 29, 2004, the Company will be able to charge pension costs to the U.S. Government under various government contracts.

EARNINGS PER SHARE SUMMARY(Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations)
Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement Regarding Outlook and Forward-Looking Information
From time to time the Company makes, and this report contains forward looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, relating to earnings, growth opportunities, capital expenditures, pension matters and strategic plans. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors, including changes in demand for products sold to the semiconductor, communications and commercial aviation markets, timely development of acceptable and competitive fuel cell products and systems, funding, continuation and award of government programs, changes in insurance costs, customers acceptance of piston engine insurance-related price increases, continued liquidity of our customers (including commercial airline customers) and economic and political conditions, could change the anticipated results. In addition, stock market fluctuations affect the value of the Companys pension assets.
Global responses to terrorism and other perceived threats increase uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements about our businesses. Various responses to terrorism and perceived threats could realign government programs, and affect the composition, funding or timing of our programs. Reinstatement of flight restrictions would negatively impact the market for general aviation aircraft piston engines and components.
The Company continues to take action to assure compliance with the internal controls, disclosure controls and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While the Company believes its control systems are effective, there are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
While Teledyne Technologies growth strategy includes possible acquisitions, the Company cannot provide any assurance as to when, if or on what terms any acquisitions will be made. Acquisitions, including the proposed acquisition of Isco, Inc. and the recent acquisitions of certain assets of Leeman Labs, Inc. and the Solid State business from Filtronic plc., involve various inherent risks, such as, among others, our ability to integrate acquired businesses and to achieve identified financial and operating synergies.
Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained in Teledyne Technologies periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its 2003 Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q. The Company assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes in the information provided under Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk included in Teledyne Technologies 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. At March 28, 2004, there were no hedging contracts outstanding.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Teledyne Technologies disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation and assistance of other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of March 28, 2004 are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in its SEC periodic filings.
In connection with its evaluation during the quarterly period ended March 28, 2004, the Company has made no change in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal controls over financial reporting. There also were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified for which corrective actions needed to be taken.
